Our redesigned Yahoo Sports website is now live! We’ve updated the site to help fans go deeper on the biggest stories in sports, with a flexible design that packages more related coverage together and adjusts based on the day’s news. For example: ➡ For tentpole moments like the NBA Finals or Super Bowl, the site will be led by a bold edge-to-edge homepage takeover, with related stories grouped together to recap the event from every angle.  ➡ For major topics that last multiple days and have several related storylines – i.e. NBA free agency – the site will lead with a prominent module designed for ongoing coverage updates. ➡ For coverage around a single game, we’re adding a score bar header that updates in real time. News about that game – and the teams playing in it – are programmed beneath it. Ultimately, the updated site will better guide fans to comprehensive coverage – no matter what’s happening in the world of sports.
